canucklehead44 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'll try to give "Chuck in the Truck" the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe he's actually being sincere? He could be saying that this signing is "awesome" because, unlike many players on the current roster (in Chuck's opinion, that is), Blomstrand plays a game that is neither "soft" nor "nice." He's arguably grittier than many of the Canucks' recent North American draft picks and having him in the system improves the team's depth in the toughness and physicality department. Maybe "Chuck" actually thinks this is a step in the right direction? Could be the case, right? I thought he meant awesome as in we are finally getting some toughness into the system, not a sarcastic "awesome" referring to Blomstrand as a soft player.

Joel Heyman Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Really nice goal, one of the dmen shot it off the boards behind the net and he tapped it in on the other side of the net. Quick hands and quick feet, from his Swedish highlights he looks like Hansen's feet Higgin's hands, Manny's body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I thought he had one of the better performances in the tournament. I noticed him a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Reminds me of Hansen and a bit of Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Blomstrand scored today for Kalamazoo, has a goal and an assist in two games since being sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Tyson Giuriato @TysonGiuriato #Canucks prospect Ludwig Blomstrand had a goal and a team-high five shots in the @KalamazooWings 3-2 shootout win this morning. If he keeps this up he could find his way back into the AHL. Good to see him doing well since he looks like he has promise when he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 This is exactly what the Canucks wanted to happen when they re-assigned Blomstrand, get him playing lots of minutes in Kalamazoo and producing. Hopefully he can bounce back to the AHL soon, the same way guys like Archibald and Grenier have after being in the ECHL for extended periods of time.

DeNiro Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 This is a good route for him to take I think. He needs to work on his offensive game so that he doesn't become a one dimensional checker. 2010 3rd round pick Kirill Kabanov is doing the exact same thing right now. You remember the guy that half the board wanted us to trade up to the second round to draft? Stanislav Galiev is also in the ECHL right now doing the same thing. Not bad for Blomstand to be in the same position as a couple 2010 3rd round picks. I think a season in the ECHL, and then another couple in the AHL and hopefully he'll be ready to take some fourth line duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Path Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm surprised Galiev is in the ECHL as he seemed to have a pretty decent preseason for Washington (mind you I only watched him in that one game against the Jets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 2 Goals for Blomer this weekend. 4G 1A in 10 games, first pro season in NA that's not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 another goal for Blomstrand today, 5-1-6 in 11 games so far and now on a three game goal streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Blomstrand has 2-5-7 and a +9 rating in the six games since he returned from injury. Looks like he's finding his stride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Good to hear. I had some decent hopes he's find a solid game on the smaller rinks and contribute as a solid bottom 6 player some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think a season in the ECHL, and then another couple in the AHL and hopefully he'll be ready to take some fourth line duties.

elvis15 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Utica Comets @UticaComets 18m The Vancouver Canucks have reassigned Ludwig Blomstrand to the #Comets. Release: http://www.uticacomets.com/?p=2714 Utica Comets Director of Hockey Operations Pat Conacher announced today that the Canucks have re-assigned left wing Ludwig Blomstrand to the AHL Utica Comets from the ECHL Kalamazoo Wings. Bloomstrand, 21, has recorded 23 points (12-11-23) and 12 penalty minutes in 40 games with Kalamazoo in 2013-140. The Upsalla, Sweden, native began the year with the Comets and appeared in six games, without recording a point, before he was reassigned to Kalamazoo on Oct. 29. Last year, Blomstrand split the season with the AHL Chicago Wolves and Sweden-1 Djurgardens IF Stockholm. The 6’1”, 198-pound forward registered two points (1-1-2) and 2 penalty minutes in eight games with the Wolves. Blomstrand was selected by Vancouver in the fourth round (#120 overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. A decent pick for the 4th round, he looked like he might show something it the AHL but has yet to do so. Projected more as a solid 3rd liner, he'll have some work to get there and hopefully he can do that while with the Comets and help them get into the playoffs.

wshdrvvn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 i guess he's been pretty hot for the k-wings lately. Utica will need him and others to step up with stuart being out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Stoked for Blomer! He has worked hard and battled injuries in Kzoo this year. Nice for him to know that his work isn't going unnoticed by the organization. Essentially He's the Jensen of the K wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
